Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplane Add-On.

Yes — dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and tones when performed by our licensed estheticians at Gloss Skincare. We thoroughly assess skin for active acne, rosacea, or wounds and will recommend alternatives or postpone treatment to prevent irritation or infection.

No — dermaplaning removes vellus hair and dead skin but does not change hair thickness or color. Regrowth returns at the same texture and rate; results typically last three to four weeks depending on individual hair growth cycles and care.

The Dermaplane Add-On typically takes 10–20 minutes within your facial appointment, depending on skin condition and targeted goals. It seamlessly complements cleansing and mask phases to boost exfoliation and product absorption without substantially lengthening your scheduled treatment.

We generally recommend dermaplaning every three to six weeks to maintain smooth texture and optimal product penetration. Frequency can be personalized based on skin sensitivity, hormonal changes, or treatment goals during your consultation with our estheticians.

If you have active inflammatory acne, open lesions, or irritated skin, we will defer dermaplaning until cleared to avoid exacerbation. Your esthetician will suggest calming treatments or alternative exfoliation methods and a safe timeline to return for dermaplane.

Aftercare includes avoiding direct sun exposure, abrasive exfoliants, and retinoids for 48–72 hours. Use gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and broad-spectrum SPF; follow any personalized instructions from your esthetician to support healing and prolong the smoothing results.
